NAME
Test::Filename - Portable filename comparison
VERSION
version 0.03
SYNOPSIS
use Test::Filename tests => 2;
filename_is ( "some\path", "some/path", "should pass" );
filename_isnt( "some\path", "some/path", "should fail" );
DESCRIPTION
Many cross-platform test failures -- particularly on Win32 -- are due to
hard-coded file paths being used in comparison tests.
my $file = get_file(); # returns "foo\bar.t";
is( $file, "foo/bar.t" ); # fails on Win32
This simple module provides some handy functions to convert all those
path separators automatically so filename tests will just DWIM.
The alternative is to write your own utility subroutine and use it
everywhere or just keep on littering your test code with calls to
File::Spec -- yuck!
is( $file, File::Spec->canonpath("some/path"), "should pass" );
Since this module is so simple, you might not think it worth including
as a dependency. After all, it's not *that* hard to always remember to
use File::Spec, Path::Tiny or some other file utility, right? But odds
are that, at some point, you'll be so busy writing tests that you'll
forget and hard-code a path in your haste to show what a clever
programmer you are.
So just use this module and stop worrying about it. You'll be happier
and so will anyone trying to install your modules on Win32.
USAGE
Just like Test::More, you have the option of providing a test plan as
arguments when you use this module. The following functions are imported
by default.
filename_is
=head2 filename_isnt
filename_is ( $got, $expected, $label );
filename_isnt( $got, $expected, $label );
These functions work just like "is()" and "isnt()" from Test::More, but
the first two argument will be cleaned up and normalized to Unix-style
paths using Path::Tiny. This means that ".\foo.txt" will get normalized
to "foo.txt" and so on.
